Before my surgery, I told my surgeon (if you recall from that entry) that I had pain on my right side, too,and he pretty much told me that he wouldn't do anything about it. (I then thought in a later post that the PET did in fact pick up a tumor on my right side, a tumor I didn' t know about and thought that was the reason for my right side pain, but i didn't read the PET report correctly and what was picked up was Rosie, an outer fibroma [which is pretty big] NOT an inner tumor) Anyway, I was also told that this pain was referred pain from the left side tumor and it would go away after surgery. IT HAS NOT. In fact the pain on my right side is worse than it has ever been before. Going on ONE WEEK STRAIGHT of pain. I am SO glad I have leftover oxycodone from my surgery recovery (i didn't really use it for recovery- so I have a whole prescription- well not anymore since I've been using it all week ahha). It MOSTLY works- much better than any OTC would help me. T
